1. Citrus Greening Disease Detection Using Airborne Multispectral And Hyperspectral Imaging

Citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing or HLB) has become a major catastrophic disease in Florida’s $9 billion citrus industry since 2005, and continued to be spread to other parts of the U.S. There is no known cure for this disease. As of October 2009, citrus trees in 2,702 different sections (square mile) in 34 counties were infected in Florida. A set of hyperspectral imageries were used to develop disease detection algorithms using image-derived spectral library, the mixture tuned... W. Lee, A. Kumar, R. Ehsani, C. Yang, L.G. Albrigo,
